Mitochondria, Microdosing, and Methylene Blue: Fueling the Body for a Longer Life
Methylene Blue (MB), a heterocyclic aromatic chemical compound with the molecular formula C16H18ClN3S, was first synthesized in 1876 and initially used as a dye. Its medical applications began with treating methemoglobinemia, a rare condition where blood loses its oxygen-carrying capacity. Recently, MB has garnered significant attention within the biohacking community, particularly following a viral video in early 2025 showing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) adding a blue substance to his water during a flight. This event, discussed in sources like Newsweek: What Is Methylene Blue? Viral RFK Jr Drink Video Spurs Questions and The Independent: What was RFK Jr putting in his drink mid-flight?, has sparked interest among those who trust RFK Jr. for his alternative health approaches. This survey note aims to provide a detailed examination of MB’s properties, supported by scientific research, to inform a rational audience interested in its potential benefits and risks.
